at this point it's personal preference, both shoes are great. glycerin max feels softer and more cushiony feel. superblast 2 feels like someone is pushing you. i use glycerin during runs that i feel like my legs/feet hurt or during runs day after a leg day strength workouts/recovery from intervals. i use superblast during long runs (easy/tempo)
I have both superblast 2 (black/white) colorway and glycerin max. Superblast 2 is a way better looking shoe. But I’m always grabbing the glycerin max even if I’m just going to grocery store!! It’s that good and comfortable. GM= super soft cushioned impact absorbers SB2 = firmer yet bouncy ride , better looks #1 for me is GM ! If you want max cushion that doesn’t let up go for it too SB2 is still a great shoe.. personally I feel it’s a bit overhyped
I agree! Watching a lot of videos on the superblast 2 i thought my life was gonna be changed running in them hahaha but they are still great! just more subtle than i was expecting. They’re premium workhorses forsure. For some reason i’m a sucker for Brooks’s designs and i love their shoes for walking around hahaha Thanks for the insight!
Really?? I’d expect asics to make those sizes! i think i heard they didn’t make big sizes in the first superblasts either.. Glad you’re enjoying your Glycerin Max’s!
Thumbnail is misleading. These shoes are not "SUPER SHOES". Quality Content though. These shoes are beasts... Well be getting the Superblast 2. Aesthetic wise.
Thanks for catching that! i meant to put “supertrainers” but was a little rushed as i posted right before going on a trip haha will fix it when i get back! Thanks for the support and i hope you enjoy the superblast 2s! what colorway were you thinking?
I wanna see what type of mileage people are gonna get out of the glycerin max. That was definitely one of the major selling points for the super blast 2 was the mileage that people were getting out of the super blast 1. me being a bigger runner if I can get 500 out of the super blast two when you know, lighter runners were getting six and 700 out of the super blast one I’ll be quite content. Once that time comes around I might be ready for the glycerin max
i’ve been curious about the puma magmax as everyone seems to be enjoying them. The only thing about Puma’s is that they tend to be narrower which my wide feet don’t enjoy hahaha thanks for the support!
The MagMax is really good. Had to return my Glycerin Max due to some rubbing/blister issues, but having the MagMax fits the same bill, soft yet bouncy/energetic. No fit issues with the MagMax which some other reviewers have also mentioned it has more room than traditional Puma shoes.
@@dyingpentas I have the Puma MagMax, no issues with the fit at all. I really like it. Also i never had issues with the width in any other shoe. The structure of the sidewalls in the GlyMax caused it to jab into the side of my foot when flexing during toe off.

Very true, thanks for the insight!
I agree with you. That has been my usage as well. $400+ investment but I’m not mad.
I have both and like both but lately I always reach for the glycerine max
The glycerin max makes the superblast 2 feel like a daily trainer 😂
i love these comparison vids !

I think they’re good training companions .
definitely nice to have both 😂 even if not necessary
Brooks Glycerin Max wins for me. Not even a contest, as Asics doesn't make the SuperBlast in a US Men's 14.

Superblast 2 is way better in terms of flexibility...not a little bit
the glycerin max’s forefoot rocker makes the ride feel more flexible than it probably is. just my experience! thanks for the insight
keep up the good work
Appreciate the support!

Team max for me. My joints and body agree with me as well
Let’s go!! Max is a great choice

i agree! im hoping the glycerin max will be super durable. Hoping to do a longer term review maybe by end of year!
Is the SB2 very different from version 1? I’ve never tried it..
I didn’t have the superblast 1s, sorry i can’t comment on this!
Which one has a more structured upper? The super blast 1 upper was loose on my foot
The glycerin max has the thicker and more structured upper.
which is better for long runs (20km up) at slow pace (730-8 min/km) about 2 hours up?
glycerin max forsure!

Nice. Thanks. I think Glycerin Max is my next shoe.
Curious how the Puma Magmax compares. These 3 seem appealing and quite similar.

If you have a wider foot don't go for Puma😂

Jesus, if you could feel traction difference running on dry road. It's your form not the outsoles.
i was deliberately making sharp turns just to test the traction in a more extreme way. like i said, both worked fine lol
